10 Things I Assume You Know About Me When I Post
1. Married With Kids. Boys, to be exact. Lots of them. Well, only 3, but sometimes D counts as the oldest one, so that makes 4. Plus, RileytheDalmatian, who is also a boy. It seems like more when they're all there in person. It's the energy. When people say I'm out-numbered, though, the reply is always that it's like half-the-distance-to-the-goal: close but noooooot quite.
2. Longtime survivor of the Tech Bubble/Crash/Web2.0 Rebirth. Ask me about my Top Ten Things To Remember When Laid Off! Also, that means I work with mostly all guys.
3. I like food! A lot (""). I like to cook; I like to find cool restaurants. If I'm coming to your neck of the woods, I'll be asking for places to go.
4. I've been around fandom for a really long time. Please to be not laughing at my pre-Witness Harrison Ford character zines. But that means I've seen all this before. Because, no, this new shiny fandom is not any less batshit than any other.
5. Every year for the past 18 years, I've packed up my boys and joined 3 of my bridesmaids and their families for a little jaunt we like to call Beach Week. At this point, it's 8 adults & 10 kids (ranging in age from 18 to 9, most of them boys) in 1 ocean-front house. (yes, it's a big house.) We might go shopping one day. We might get in 18 holes of golf. Occasionally, there is a fishing excursion. Mostly, we hang out on the beach and eat. And drink. You have to see it to believe it and even then, most people don't. We are currently at the 2 month countdown, which means the recipes are flying through cyberspace and the practical joke ammunition is being stocked.
6. There is quite often family drama going on. Not my nuclear family (thank goddess and several excellent therapists), but my parents and the extended family could provide programming for a week or so if Jerry Springer ever comes calling. More than several of you have borne witness to this and have provided support both practical and emotional, which is still so amazing to me.
7. I used to read non-stop, but then I had kids and didn't stop working. No time. And I already gave up TV, for the most part. 2 shows at a time, that's my limit. (And even that's falling apart now that SPN is putting me through the wringer this season.)
8. I like happy endings.
9. No, really. If I want stuff that is fucked beyond belief, I can go call my cousins.
10. Writing is this awesomely cool thing that I'm never ever sure is going to work, no matter how many times I remind myself that I've done it before. I think it's getting a little bit easier, but then again, I'm writing this instead of trying to nail down the fucking ending for my Big Bang, so.
